-Minor Matters of the Term.
Notwithstanding the arduous eflorts
of Judge Moore and Solicitor Brooks to
clear the big criminal docket in Supe-rior
court last week the task proved too
much for them and about twenty-five
cases were continued to the next term,
which meets in February.
The most important case of the week
was tried Friday, that of Frazier Jones,
colored, charged with killing his wife
at Gibsouville on Thanksgiving day.
Jones was represented by Col. J. A.
Barriuger, but he ventured no defense
I beyond a plea of not guilty. Five wit-neasH

Body of a Young- Man From Gibsonvllle
Found In Railroad Yards Here.
The tody of a young man finally
identified as Fal L. Murray, of Gibsou-ville,
was fouun iu the railroad yards
just ea»t o' the p.-Meneer station last
Wednesday night about 7.80 by Freight
Agent W. G. Crutchtield, who hap-pened
to pass that way at that hour.
Beyond some tattoo marks on the
man's arms and the uameof a Burling-ton
clothier in his bat there was uoth-ing
to indicate his identity, and it was
several hours before anyone wss found
who could lecoguize the body. A
young man named Hackett, who
works for the Southern Express Com-pany,
finally identified the dead man
as Fal L. Murray and said his father
worked at the Aurora cottou mill iu
Burlington. Hackett had seen Mur-'£
ra; here the Mouday previous but
knew nothing of his movements iu the
time intervening. It was rumored
Wednesday night that the young man
jumped from one of the main liue pas-senger
trains coming from Danville
and fell underneath a passing freight,
while another rumor or supposition
was he fell while boarding the Golds-boro
freight train that leaves here
about 7 o'clock each night. Coroner
Turner, after viewing the horribly
mangled remains, decided that an in-quest
was unnecessary aud ordered
iheir removal to an undertaking estab-lishment,
where they were prepared
for burial. Tbuisday Mr. Lee Murray,
father of the unfortunate young man,
came up aud look the remains to Gib-
Bonville for iuteimtut.
